11:07 pm
save ac transit $15 million. but the union fought back in court and they won. now ac transit has got to cut $15 million from somewhere and the cuts are coming to service. rs >> oh, lord. that ain't right. >> and they shouldn't take that out on the people. they need to come to an agreement because without them, how is people going to get to they jobs? >> reporter: that's a question neither ac tran sit nor the union can answer. >> i think the service cuts are so deep that everybody will be impacted. all routes, all weekend service will be impacted in some way, shape, or form. >> i been here for 20 years, i never seen it this bad. >> reporter: the board will look at the proposed cuts and vote on september 22nd. if approved, they take effect in december. the only hope for preventing cuts is a money-saving compromise from the bus drivers
11:08 pm
who say they've compromised enough. it's a back and forth that leaves the riders paying the balance. >> let the ac transit customer agreement and let them know it's the people that needs on the bus. >> do whatever they got stood. if that happens, the economy will get worse. people not making it to jobs. >> reporter: the ac transit board has appealed to reverse their imposed contract. as they wait on that appeal, they continue with the arbitration. julie watts, cbs 5. senator barbara boxer and republican challenger carly fiorina faced off. a poll three weeks ago showed fiorina leading boxer. live where the two candidates took sharp jabs at each other tonight. >> reporter: indeed they did. job killer or job creator?

four pieces of legislation. that is far below the record or even the average. and those four bills include naming a river in virginia, naming a courthouse, renaming a post office, and bringing some federal dollars back to the bay area after the earthquake. >> reporter: over and over again, boxer hammered fiorina for her tenure as ceo of hewlett-packard where she cut thousands of jobs and also received a multimillion dollar package after she got fired. >> the facts are there was a $21 million severance check. and it was taken after my opponent was fired. the stock went down more than 50%. so if she's calling for accountability with teachers, there ought to be accountability with ceos. >> when you lead a business whether it's a nine person business or 150,000 people, you sometimes have to make the
11:11 pm
agonizing choice to lose some jobs to save more. >> reporter: we interviewed a political analyst who called this a tie. if you were a boxer supporter you liked what you heard. same with fiorina. >> fiorina had commanded a certain array of facts. i think the sound bytes will go to barbara boxer. >> reporter: the candidates also differed on abortion. boxer pro-choice, fiorina pro- life. and boxer favors same-sex marriage. and fiorina supports traditional marriage. and afterwards they both spoke to reporters saying they wanted to have more of these debates again to let california voters know more about where they stand on these positions. >> that would be good for the voters. thank you.
